Greyfriars Mansion Guildford Wedding Photographer

Despite the snow outside and the freezing temperatures, Nicky & Toby’s wedding looks like it was photographed in the middle of Summer rather than in February. From the moment I arrived at Greyfraiars, I knew it was going to be a great wedding. Nicky and her bridesmaids were relaxing and enjoying getting ready. The whole building rang out to sports programme theme tues that Nicky had organised for Toby’s arrival (think Ski Sunday, etc). The wedding ceremony was full of emotion with great readings and a mix of smiles and tears. The rest of the wedding day flew by. The staff at Greyfriars as well as the from Caper and Berry couldn’t have been better. Toby & Nicky always said they they couldn’t wait until the music on their wedding night and they weren’t wrong. The dance floor was fit to burst all night with Toby showing his trademark spin. Nickys brother was the DJ for most of the night before it was highjacked for a while as you can see below. What a great winter wedding. Feel free to leave a comment or a message for Nicky & Toby below.

Normanton Church and Hambleton Hall Wedding Photographs

Anyone that knows me knows that I love a challenge. Well Sam and Neil gave me one of the biggest of my photographic career. A January wedding at 4.30 in a church lit purely by candles! It looked stunning and I only hope I did it justice! I can’t believe they organised the whole wedding in just 6 weeks! Sam even hand made all the roses on the cake. I only met them last week and couldn’t wait to capture their day. They are such a down to earth couple that deserved and got their own unique wedding day. Here are just a few images from their day. Any comments in the box below would be great.

Wedding at 30 Pavilion Road Knightsbridge

Weddings in Central London always have a certain feel to them. Add in a winter wedding at 4pm and you are guaranteed those lovely warm indoor tones for the photographs. I had not photographed at 30 Pavilion Road before, its a great small wedding venue at the back of Harrods. Paul looked after the couple very well and the champagne flowed all day. The speeches were fantastic and I loved the reactions to lots of the stories. Here is just a selection of images from the wedding. Feel free to comment below.
